South West Rocks Public School
Situated in a popular area of the NSW mid-north coast, the town of South West Rocks contains a mixture of retired people and younger working families. The school aims to achieve academic excellence in a caring, cooperative and courteous environment. We aim to provide quality teaching of an expanded curriculum that ensures equitable access for all students. Whilst the teaching of literacy and numeracy are chief priorities, we provide many opportunities for children to excel in all key learning areas. As a member of the Macleay Educational Community of Schools (MECS) we aim to promote the virtues of the public education system in NSW. Highlights of the school year include the annual MECS music festival, art festival and student leadership workshops. At South West Rocks Public School we continue to work closely with community groups and provide students and parents with outstanding transition programs from pre-school to Kindergarten and Year 6 to Year 7. We are proud of the positive student welfare programs such as QUEST (Quality Environment for Students and Teachers) and Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL). These programs build self-esteem and leadership skills. South West Rocks Public School has energetic and engaged parents plus teachers and students who are highly active in many community projects making the school a great part of our local community.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
